Welcome! I know what you mean about being at a stand-still ... I have been too for a while and I know some others here have been too. I have about 15 pounds to go and it's just not coming off! Hang in there ... it just takes time. :)


By the way, losing 10 pounds in two months is great!

Hi there, and welcome to the 30's board!


Congratulations on your losses so far- terrific. Hitting a standstill can be frustrating, but there are little things you can do to get things moving again.

I have started doing some research on how my hysterectomy has effect my weight. I was not over weight until I had my Hysterectomy. Thank you for all the comments and suggestions. I have totally given up soda of any kind, I watch my calories very close and drink lot of water. Thank you IG for the article. I am going to try and watch more of the other things suggested. And I am going to start trying harder to hold my self accountable. Recently my husband and I picked up some more insurance and they told me that my rate would be higher because of my weight. I did not take it bad but took it as ok here is my reason to lose.
